The Witching Hour: A Collection of Haunted Tales
There is something peculiar about the hour after midnight. It is the time when darkness reigns, and strange things roam the earth. In this dazzling collection of original haunted tales, thirteen bestselling and much-loved authors bring the old superstition of the witching hour to vivid and spine-tingling life. From the smog of London to the freezing mists of Svalbard, from an Irish town riddled with rumour to a sinister English boarding school, each story transports you to a place where the boundaries between the living and the dead grow perilously thin, and the familiar becomes unsettling.
From the creators of The Haunting Season and The Winter Spirits comes this spellbinding new collection, featuring new and original stories by Michelle Paver, Stacey Halls, Bridget Collins, Imogen Hermes Gowar, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, Andrew Michael Hurley, Jess Kidd, Natasha Pulley, Elizabeth Macneal, Susan Stokes-Chapman, Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Stuart Turton and Catriona Ward. Whether you're drawn to atmospheric gothic mysteries, psychological unease or tales of supernatural menace, this collection offers something to unsettle and enchant every reader. The Mail on Sunday calls it 'a cracking collection of spooky tales perfect for the season of darkling nights'—your spine-tingling companion for the long hours of winter. Curl up, light a candle, and wait for the clock to strike.
